Square Enix should retire the relic quests with Endwalker

[RitsukoSonoda]

What a take

Yes technically you can make yourself a goal of doing HoH 1000 times and then start using your relic

the question is : Why ?

The grind should be in the game, not made up by the players.

If we go down that road, why even have any content at all ? After all you can make goals for yourself right ?

For example, if I run from Uldah to Northern Thanalaan, I would get an ultimate weapon.

It's all about choice right ? So can I just race there and get an ultimate weapon ? Thank you, I will be awaiting my ultimate weapon in my letterbox.

Person sounds like an alt belonging to a certain person on this forum that likes to poke their head into threads when people complain about the lack of a proper relic quest. Who thinks they're somehow qualified to hand out in game chores lists to people to complete because we want the relic to be something more than a way to make that "X tomestones were lost because you are already at capacity" message to go away for a day or 2.

Ehhhh I 100% disagree with their take. Like, completely disagree. I don't think they are a troll. Just, fundamentally, its a completely different take and will never see eye to eye, so it's a waste of time trying to explain. And I also do think they can't get past the idea that the only reason we are unhappy is cause we want to gatekeep the relic.

^I don't think they're a troll either. They are however displaying the very same mindset that the dev shown when they made the decision to change the fundamentals of what makes a relic weapon 'relic': it turns them into just another lackluster content that misses the point of what they're there for in the first place.
